ContinentalContact Plus 26 Inch Tire(Return to Product Page)

After about 2 months of use on my 80's ATB commuter, I'm very happy with these Conti's. I mostly ride on rough downtown roads and paved bike trails, and these have performed very well. Great grip in both wet and dry conditions, and they seem like they'll last a ton of miles--there's hardly any tread wear so far, and I love that I don't have to worry about punctures. They're heavier than I was expecting, but they're also my first touring tire, and compared to similarly protective tires (most Schwalbe marathons etc.), they're fairly light. They also roll very well, even at the pretty wide 1.75" (47mm) width I chose. The Reflex strip is also a nice bonus for visibility.

Replaced a worn out rear tire, quiet rolling, good traction, I like the performance. Time will tell durability, so can't comment on that yet. Overall so far good tire. Great turn around times on orders and great prices.

I really like the upgraded durability and traction I now have with these tires. The reflective stripe on the sidewall is a nice bonus as well.

Road them in wet mud up hill pulling a weehoo. Made it! Seem good on the road. They are bigger than I thought they would be.
